How Could the Third Young Lady Be the Mountain God's Emissary?

Delicate, sweet, teary-eyed little bunny × cool, noble young lord, both fighting tooth and nail to claim each other!

[Sweet-and-angsty, forced love] [The hero's long road to winning her back] [A touch of political intrigue]

Su Xiaoman is the third daughter of the Su family, whose patriarch serves as a Vice Minister in the Ministry of Works.

Her father and brothers have spoiled her since childhood. She is a pampered little darling who likes to act cute, and is mediocre at everything from the four arts to poetry and song. Luckily, both her looks and personality are lovable.

She traveled over mountains and rivers from the Southern Region to seek shelter at the Marquis of Zhenguo's residence.

The very next day, a renowned scholar showed up at her door and offered to become her teacher.

Every day with her teacher is a chaotic adventure.

When faced with some obscure classical text, she answers, “Maybe Confucius was a chatterbox?”

She watches her teacher turn red with rage, glaring with fury and stroking his bristling beard. Danger!

One day, Su Xiaoman's eyes grow as big as saucers.

“Teacher! You're telling me to go to the young lord's study every night for tutoring? How can a man and a woman be alone together in the same room?”

The Qi Dynasty is in turmoil. Gao Lin is the heir of the Marquis of Zhenguo.

Cool and handsome, noble and aloof, he cares about the realm and has no interest in romance!

He secretly protects and endures in silence as the Crown Prince, Qi Kunze, rises to power.

Su Xiaoman plays a pivotal role in the accounts of Yuzhou, the Southern Region's rebellion, and the Long Family Army's defection, helping shape the fate of the Qi Dynasty...

This little bunny is shy, stubborn, delicate, and a crybaby.

She skips class to goof off, can barely manage anything, and still rushes to help people in trouble!

He only meant to look after her a little, but the more he comforted her, the more attached he became.

He has to teach her everything “hand over hand,” even holding her on his lap as he soothes her...

This delicate girl is also the one all the signs point to as the mountain god's chosen emissary!

At a night banquet, Prince Yong secretly gives him a drug that incites desire.

He already loves this little bunny, and now he can hardly hold back!

He stares hungrily at Su Xiaoman.

“Su Xiaoman, are you really willing?”

She steels herself somewhat and nods in innocent confusion. “...But I don't know how!”

Gao Lin struggles to hold himself back, afraid of frightening her, and reassures her, “I'll take care of it!”

Su Xiaoman knows next to nothing about love. Ever since that night, whenever he goes east, she goes west, avoiding him at every turn.

Until one day, the young lord corners her, step by step. “Why are you avoiding me?”

She backs away, step by step, and makes an excuse. “You're imagining things, Young Lord. I'm not avoiding you...”

When Gao Lin learns that Su Xiaoman has kept another marriage from him, he struggles to contain his despair.

“What do you like about that poor scholar? I can learn! Could he possibly know better than me how to take care of you?”

With nowhere left to run, Su Xiaoman is trapped in the narrow space between him and the wall. “It's my choice. I can marry whoever I want!”

Her words seem to mock how ridiculous his sincere feelings are. His face turns cold as he snarls, “You wouldn't dare!”

What's his belongs by his side, behaving itself!

1. One-on-one romance, no previous partners on either side, happy ending.

2. The dynasty is fictional, with many original details. Please don't scrutinize it for historical accuracy.

3. An ensemble cast, but the entire plot serves the male and female leads.

4. Slow burn, with a long buildup to the romance.

5. The heroine has a universally beloved quality. The hero confines her in a small room, and some of his behavior is inhumane. Later, the heroine gets her revenge.
